LAS VEGAS (Interstat) — A clash of Mountain West Conference opposites is set for Saturday at Allegiant Stadium as the undefeated UNLV Runnin’ Rebels host the struggling Air Force Falcons.

UNLV (5-0) looks to continue its best start in years, while Air Force (1-4) is desperate to halt a four-game skid. Despite the divergent records, the Falcons have been installed as a slight 6.5-point favorite, with an over/under of 63.5.

The Runnin’ Rebels are riding high after a 31-17 road victory at Wyoming last week. Their offense has been balanced, with quarterback Anthony Colandrea and running backs Jai’Den Thomas and Keyvone Lee leading a potent attack.

Air Force, despite its record, possesses a dangerous offense. The Falcons are coming off a narrow 34-31 loss to Navy in which quarterback Liam Szarka was dynamic, passing for 212 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 152 yards and two more scores. Air Force’s four losses have all been high-scoring affairs, suggesting their defense has been the primary issue.

A Interstat game simulator projects a 37-31 win for Air Force, indicating a potential shootout. The game pits UNLV’s perfect record and home-field advantage against an Air Force team that, according to the oddsmakers, remains dangerous on offense.
